Upgrade to 5.1.30 or 5.2.0 gives me VERR_VM_DRIVER_MISMATCH

Post by JPagan »

Hello VBoxers,

I upgraded from 5.1.22. When I try to start a VM I get an error message saying that the kernel drivers do not match, the installation was probably not successful and to try to uninstall and reinstall. I see a code in the message sayin VERR_VM_DRIVER_MISMATCH. I totally uninstalled the old software, rebooted, CCleaned the registry and try to reinstall, I get the same error. This happens when I upgrade to either 5.1.30 or 5.2.0. The log is attached.

If I reinstall the original 5.1.22, everything works fine again.

Any ideas?
